Presumably, Korda accepted the offer to perform in Astana in order to attract an audience. After all, why wouldn't a representative of the Top 40 participate in a five-hundred tournament in China, which takes place at the same time? He just returned from China and a week later will be there again for one of the last Masters of the season. All of this looks strange. If we are correct, then Popirin's chances for a successful start are very high. Especially considering his ability to play well under high-speed conditions. The American is likely to leave Astana immediately and go to Beijing to prepare for the thousand tournament. According to our forecast, Popirin will win.
